Differences between Mode 1 and Mode 2 Knowledge

Mode 1 Knowledge
  • Discipline-based
  • Has a distinction between fundamental and applied production
  • By individuals
  • Quality control/peer review
  • Local
  • Market acceptability
  • Traditional notions of objectivity of knowledge
Mode 2 Knowledge
  • Trans disciplinary
  • Produced in context of application
  • Production in diverse sites
  • Production in teams
  • Social accountability
  • Global
  • Truth in consensus amongst informed professionals
Knowledge economy is trans disciplinary therefore as learning managers communicative competence is vital in managing diversity so as to achieve learner outcomes.
